'Bigfoot' spotted in 'best footage to date' in 'scariest moment' of TikToker's life
Has the mystery of Bigfoot finally been solved?
A TikToker has shared footage of what they believe to be Bigfoot, calling the encounter the 'scariest moment' of their life.
Bigfoot - also known as a Sasquatch - is a large, furry humanoid creature which has been rumoured to be stalking the forests and national parks of North America for the past century.
Other than a handful of grainy sightings over the past couple of decades there isn't much consensus on the mythology of Bigfoot.
Eyewitness accounts often depict the being as a tall, muscular being covered in red or brown hair and standing around 6–9 feet tall.

However this doesn't answer questions such as 'is Bigfoot just one being or an entire species?' or 'how come we've never found any Bigfoot bones?'
Well one TikTok user (@e_man580) is now claiming to have the clearest evidence ever of Bigfoot's existence, describing the encounter as the 'scariest moment' of their life.
In the nine-second clip, which was filmed in Parallel Forest in Lawton, Oklahoma, a figure can be seen relaxing under a tree and pondering life while holding a branch in his hand. The video has since been viewed over one million times.
The video ends with the creature looking towards the camera which clearly spooked the person behind the camera as they swiftly ended the video and appeared to run off.
Opinions in the comments were mixed, with one person writing: "I believe this 100% real, I've watched thousands of videos and pics of these things and the main difference with this one is the facial features move, in a costume you can't move the features..."
"Waiting for someone to debunk this cause I’m convinced," a second person added.
However not everyone was convinced, with several commenters pointing out that the figure looks suspiciously similar to a 'Jack Links Adult Sasquatch Costume' which can be bought for anything from $179.99 to $249.99.
Here is a photo of the listing in question.
Now, I'm no expert when it comes to verifying Bigfoot sightings but the figure in the video does look suspiciously similar to the above costume, right down to the epic ginger beard which both are sporting.
The costume even has its own set of teeth, which tracks with the commenter who said they believe this is a legit sighting because 'you can literally see its teeth'.
"Where can I purchase one of these costumes," one person joked, while a second said: "I wonder if they were doing a commercial."
"It can’t be him, the REAL Bigfoot is blurry, haven’t y'all seen the pics," a third person joked.
So what do we think - Bigfoot confirmed or just a guy getting his money's worth from last year's Halloween costume?
